Biking in Florida

I've biked about 270 miles since arriving in Florida 13 days ago, all on trails such as Gainesville-Hawthorne, West Orange, Lake Mineola, Flatwoods Wilderness, Starkey Wilderness, Suncoast, Legacy, Auburndale, Van Fleet, and Withlocoochee Trails, the latter two trails more than once.  The Withlacoochee is Florida's longest trail at 46 miles, and the Van Fleet runs for 29 miles, and here are a few of the sights i've enjoyed along them theislast week...

Here's the lovely Withlacoochee River where it parallels the trail around Brooksville...



I watched 4 wood storks along the Van Fleet near the south end...



About six tortoises were out sunning themselves as I biked the Van Fleet...


The Van Fleet on the south end passes this llama farm...
